Protests in Kyrgyzstan

BISHKEK, KYRGYZSTAN: Protesters clashed with police and tried to break into a building housing the Parliament and government offices in Kyrgyzstan’s capital yesterday, during a rally to demand the resignation of the prime minister and other top officials.
Police officers protecting the government building, known as the White House, used dogs and smoke bombs to disperse a group of young men who attempted to scale the gates.
The Health Ministry said 10 people are being treated for injuries, three of them for gunshot wounds. Officials said no police were injured.
